Sorry, not quite clear here, but numbers must come from somewhere,
if not resolv.conf, then /etc/hosts or local named + maybe via root
servers whose numeric addresses are themselves compiled into local
named.  List freebsd-net@freebsd.org might be the ideal place to
State:
	- Is named running locally ?
	- Has /etc/resolv.conf a first entry of localhost ( = 127.0.0.1 ) ?
Ask if this strategy might cause:
	- un-necessary load to internet root name servers ?
	- extra indirection on local lookups.
(but this list will probably do this time, as the thread's running :-)
